The morning Leon Drakar returned to the Adventurer Guild Headquarters, he did not arrive alone.
Accompanying the captain of the Ardent Sun Knight Order were six Warriors dressed in well-maintained traveling clothes, their weapons secured at their sides.
Although none wore the formal armor of their order, their disciplined bearing and measured movements made their military background immediately apparent.

Their arrival attracted considerable attention inside the Grand Guild Hall, particularly when several Adventurers recognized Leon walking at the front of the group.
For months, the captain had become a familiar sight at the mission counters, where his relentless pursuit of assignments had eventually earned him the distinction of becoming the world's first Platinum Adventurer.
Now, however, he appeared to have something different in mind.
